Former Bristol Rovers striker Jermaine Easter has revealed he wanted to remain with the club beyond the end of the 2016/17 season.

The 35-year-old was released by Rovers at the end of the season after two and half years at the Memorial Stadium.

In January, Easter was one of the players told by Darrell Clarke he was free to find a new club and would not be considered for first team selection any longer - the others being Liam Lawrence and Mark McChrystal.
